About Not A Screen
Not A Screen is a free guide to Yoto cards, Tonies and other screen-free things for kids that helps you choose the right one before you buy.
What you'll find here
Guides and comparisons for Yoto players and the Toniebox: which one to buy, how to make your own cards and what to do when something stops working. Each player has its own page with the recommended age and where to buy it. We'll add pages for each Yoto card and Tonie next. If you follow a page, we'll email you when it changes.
How Not A Screen is paid for
The site is free to use. Store links on this site can be affiliate links. If you buy through one, the store may pay us a commission, and your price stays the same. Stores don't pay for what we write or decide what we list or say about their products. No page on this site is sponsored. If the weekly email ever has a sponsor, we'll say so in the email.
Where the details come from
Prices, ages and features come from Yoto's and Tonies' US stores and help pages, and each guide lists its sources and the date we checked them. If a store's product feed describes a card or Tonie, we show that text as the store wrote it, under the store's name. Anything we add ourselves appears under Our notes.
What Not A Screen can't do
Not A Screen gives general information. The recommended ages come from the stores, and we haven't tried every card or Tonie ourselves, so treat the ages as a guide.
